Is there a penalty for resubmitting personal income tax finalization?

Many accountants during the finalization period have questions about whether after the deadline for personal income tax finalization and submission of financial statements expire, can they resubmit personal income tax finalization? If I return it, will there be a penalty? To help accountants understand this issue, below is the answer.

  • In case the annual tax finalization declaration has been submitted, only the annual tax finalization declaration should be supplemented.
  • In case the additional declaration of the annual tax finalization dossier reduces the tax payable, if it is necessary to re-determine the tax payable of the month or quarter, then declare an additional monthly and quarterly declaration and recalculate the late payment interest (if any).
